The THECB has accomplished a lot with Dr. Harrison Keller at the helm of the agency. The work we undertook during his tenure has impacted and will continue to transform higher education for generations to come. 💡 Under his leadership, the agency brought forth a new strategic plan for the state to meet the growing demands of the workforce, released new products making Texas higher ed data actionable and connecting Texans to credentials of value, and changed the way community colleges are funded. Congratulations Harrison Keller on your recent appointment as the next president of University of North Texas. 👏

Incredible to see this work and research come to life!
Camp Durango is making research fun this summer for youth with autism and their siblings. The goal of the program is to have campers participate in research while they take part in fun activities. Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board's Autism Grant Program funding makes this camp financially accessible for families or for caretakers of the 150 campers each summer. This explains why it took less than 24 hours to fully book the camp this year. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gyFp9r7J #UTSA #CampDurango | UTSA Research

Congratulations to Dr. Harrison Keller for being officially appointed as the president of the University of North Texas! 👏 We're excited to see him lead the state's 3rd largest university. We look forward to collaborating in the future as we continue to work towards meeting the goals of Building a Talent Strong Texas.
The University of North Texas System Board of Regents officially appointed Dr. Harrison Keller to lead the University of North Texas – the system’s flagship campus and the 3rd-largest university in Texas. Dr. Keller, who currently serves as the commissioner and chief executive officer of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, will become the 17th president in UNT’s history, effective Aug. 1. "Having spent his career committed to elevating Texas higher education, Harrison Keller is a natural leader and innovator who is uniquely qualified to lead UNT through new levels of excellence,” Chancellor Michael R. Williams said. “Dr. Keller will bring new opportunities and national awareness to UNT that will help advance the university to its next tier of success, and he has the experience and strategic vision to strengthen UNT as a Tier One research university that puts students first. “Dr. Keller is committed to collaborative leadership and has a deep passion for student success, and I am excited to see what UNT will accomplish next.” Since 2019, Dr. Keller has provided leadership and coordination of higher education budget and policy for the world’s eighth largest economy, and he is responsible for facilitating the state’s strategic plan for higher education and overseeing an annual budget of more than $1.7 billion. Under his visionary leadership, he has advanced policy and programs that improve college readiness and student success — especially for low-income and first-generation students.
